For delicious and affordable Japanese, we only go to Tok-Yu!
It's probably not the classiest nor the most authentic Japanese resto in Manila, but loyal patrons like us keep coming back for their simple, no-frills dishes, and friendly service. :)
So last Wednesday, we (Ate, KB and me) found ourselves, yet again, in our beloved Tok-yu in Pioneer Center.
We ordered our usual:
Special mix (sushi and sashimi).
Chicken misono (comes with a cup of rice). We like ours with a little sprinkling of Kikkoman. You can also try their beef and tuna misono!
Of course, Ebi Tempura. Sometimes, they put on too much batter, but that night they got it just right. :)
And Tok-Yu's special red iced tea, served super cold on a large glass. Sweet and refreshing!
I am also currently reading-- albeit very, very slowly -- Erin Morgenstern's Night Circus. I brought it out to read, but then I realized that doesn't work for me. I must not be distracted while eating, hehehe! :P
All of this, under 600 pesos! Not bad, eh?
After our delicious meal, off we went to fetch Bernard from his nest (aka Milky and Sunny), where we also ate Choco Chip (with extra chips!) pancakes for dessert. Sorry, no photo! We gobbled them up before I could take one. :)
'Til next time,
Binky
Can you believe it's November 4 already? What happened to my long weekend?
With everyone away (Bee's in Cebu, Cai's in Boracay, even KB's Pangasinan-bound!), I spent most of it in the house, sleeping and watching Sherlock (but time very well-spent, I must say).
But this afternoon, I finally managed to sneak out with Ate Star. We didn't really know where to go, but after long, drawn out discussions in the car, we decided to go to Greenbelt 3 to eat at Yomenya Goemon: Japanese Spaghetti House.
I've wanted to eat here for weeks, after reading about it from Jin Loves to Eat! So yey! :)

Inside:
The menu. Basically, just pizza and spaghetti, a few desserts and drinks.
Free soup for every Spaghetti order.
When Ate Star and I eat together, we tend to order for five people, instead of just for two. But this time, we've been very good and chose only two dishes.
Pizza came out first. Smoked chicken with four cheeses. Love the dough, chewy! And anything with cheese is winner for me. So four cheeses?! Yes, please. :)
Our spaghetti. Shrimp, bacon and onsen egg. Interesting. Though not quite sure what the egg does for the dish. But I liked it. I ate most of it, because Ate Star didn't like it so much.
Dessert, of course. Tiny, but delicious. Ang cute pa ng plate! :)
Well, that's about it. I would love to come back so I could try their soup spaghettis.
Afterwards, we went to Starbucks to get a cup of Peppermint Mocha. Woahhh! Christmas na sa Starbucks!!!
Then, we also passed by Pino/Pipino/BRGR Jupiter, where Ate Star said hello to a friend who visited.
See ya,
Binky
